Following her success of Yours Truly going to number 1, her new album, My Everything has also done the same. She has become the first woman to debut at No. 1 with her first two albums since 2010.
It was last done by Susan Boyle who saw her first two albums go to No. 1. Boyle did it with I Dreamed a Dream (released in 2009) and The Gift (2010).
My Everything has three singles that has reached the top ten including, “Problem”, “Break Free” and “Bang Bang”.
Ariana Grande is one of the sweetest girls we know and the singer is also super committed to her fans. With her new and latest hit single, “Problem,” already making it number 1 on iTunes, Ariana wanted to give back the love that her fans have been giving her. What did this star do? Ariana chose to share a sweet surprise by releasing a song that was done well before her second album was even in the making. The song also did not make Ariana’s debut album, Yours Truly. The song is called “Boyfriend Material.” Along with the audio video she shared, Ariana wrote:
“a little surprise for my loves as a thank you for all of your constant love, support and dedication. i know how much y’all love this song and how disappointed you were when it didn’t make it on to my first album so i knew i had to get it to you somehow someday. this song means a lot to me and holds such a special place in my heart as it was one of the first songs i did when i started working on ‘yours truly’ when i was like 17 ….. don’t worry… you’ll get more of these oldies too as time goes on! I’m working on it for you. love you all so much. you are everything. love you.”

“I feel so incredibly honored to be here tonight, singing alongside some of the most incredible female vocalists in the history of the world. I can’t believe that I’m here right now,” Ariana Grande when she took the stage at the White House on Thursday evening (March 6) as a part of their Women of Soul: In Performance at the White House concert in Washington, D.C., featuring a bill with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Patty LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge, Janelle Monáe, and The Voice winner Tessanne Chin.
“Mr. President, Mrs. Obama — what’s up? How are ya? Good to see ya. What’s good, it’s all good?” she greeted her hosts, to laughs from the crowd and a thumbs up from the First Lady herself, before continuing: “So thank you for having me. I’m seriously so excited. So without further ado, I’m going to sing a song by a woman who’s inspired me endlessly since I was a little girl… I’m gonna sing ‘I Have Nothing’ by Whitney Houston.”
Ariana brought the crowd to their feet with her amazing rendition of the Whitney classic, and later returned to sing her own song “Tattooed Heart” off her debut album Yours Truly as well, which earned her another standing ovation!
Check out the videos of Ariana’s performances from the whitehouse.gov livestream and be sure to catch the concert in full when it airs on PBS on April 7!
Yesterday (February 5th), Ariana Grande made a special appearance at the Tower Records in the Shibuya neighborhood of Tokyo to celebrate the release of her debut album Yours Truly there with her Japanese fans! The album is currently at #1 on the iTunes charts there, and we’re sure that’s in no small part due to the amazing performance she put on at the store.
Ariana sang her hit single “The Way,” “Tattooed Heart,” and “Baby I,” and both her outfit (a little red skater dress and high nude pumps) and her vocals were sizzling! Don’t wait, you can check out her performance in the videos below now:
Ariana Grande was on hand at the Tower Records store in the Shibuya neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday (February 5th) to promote the Japanese release of her debut album Yours Truly. Not only did Ari answer some questions from the excited group of gathered fans, but she also put on one heck of a show, wearing a little red skater dress with some rhinestone detailing and towering nude heels.
You can check out our big gallery of pics from the event below now. Do you love seeing Ariana in her signature style or do you wanna see her step out of the box fashion-wise soon?
Ariana Grande just returned to the U.S. from a successful trip to Japan! During her stay in Tokyo, she not only performed for fans and answered questions at Shibuya nightclub Sound Museum Vision, but also shared her talent on Japanese morning show Sukkiri on January 7th.
We can’t think of a better way to wake up than to a performance from Ariana! Despite the early hour — just look at how tired she was in the backstage snaps above! — she wowed the show’s hosts (and everyone else who tuned in, we’re sure) with her amazing vocals on “Baby I”.
Check it out in the video below now and let us know what you think — we’re especially loving the lavender-version of the stage outfit she’s been rocking lately!
Ariana Grande is having one helluva year, and just before Christmas the pop songstress received a nice gift that didn’t need to be wrapped. Her album “Yours Truly” was chosen as the #1 album of the Top Ten Albums Of The Year by the Associated Press…BOOM! We want to say “CONGRATULATIONS!” to Ariana; you’re great example of what can happen when “preparation meets opportunity”. You’re a shining star in the music/acting industry and we couldn’t be more thrilled of all the success coming your way.
Ariana tweeted, “Thank u Associated Press for making Yours Truly #1 in your Top 10 albums of the year ❤️ honored to be in such company.” She beat out some of the industry’s powerhouses such as Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Drake, and Miley Cyrus — quite a feat for someone who has seemingly blossomed over night.
Be sure to go on Ariana’s twitter page to congratulate her on this awesome achievement.
Does Ariana Grande ever not blow her audience away? We haven’t seen it happen yet and, on Saturday night (December 14th), we’re sure the crowd gathered at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL for the B96 Pepsi Jingle Bash went home afterward nothing but impressed by her voice and her talent. Ari treated them to a set list that included “Right There,” “Lovin’ It,” her spin on the Wham! song “Last Christmas,” “Honeymoon Avenue,” her duet “Almost Is Never Enough” featuring boyfriend Nathan Sykes of The Wanted (who also performed at the show last night and joined her on stage for a sweet performance), and, of course, her first hit off her debut album Yours Truly “The Way.”
You won’t want to miss a minute, so check it all out right now in the video below and let us know what your favorite moments were!
Although Ariana Grande was feeling a little under the weather and experienced technical difficulties during her set, she still took the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, last night (December 6th) for 102.7 KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball 2013 and blew the crowd away!

Ariana Grande has recently admitted that “Honeymoon Avenue,” the opening track on her hit album Yours Truly, is one of her absolute favorites, so it’s probably no accident that this low-key acoustic version of the song that she performed at 102.7 KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball 2013 last night (December 6th) is one of our favorites of hers yet! Even with a cold, Ariana still manages to sound amazing.
